Three filmmakers, one faith, many questions
Harry Potter, Transformers, and GI Joe may have dominated theaters this summer, but a number of interesting indie films have cropped up recently on DVD. Over at Past the Popcorn, Greg Wright interviews a trio of indie Christian filmmakers who have produced noteworthy films of late.
Each of the three filmmakers takes a very different approach to the art; it’s fascinating to read their thoughts on the various challenges inherent in creating art as a Christian. Should a Christian film be family-friendly? What additional pressures come into being when your art is being funded and supported by a church? Do moviegoers have misplaced expectations about Christian films? All good questions, and if you’ve ever grappled with the intersection of faith and art, it’s a conversation worth following.
Thanks for linking, Andy. I’ve done a lot of interviews over the years, but I’ve got to say this is probably the most instructive. I’m very proud to have bird-dogged this one.
Sure thing, Greg–it’s really a fascinating interview. I wasn’t familiar with any of the films being discussed, but it was still really interesting to read.
I realize that I never responded to your Watchmen comment here a few weeks ago. I guess I’ll just email at this point
